Topic: VGA console video configuration (Read 889 times)

I have pfsense system that I built from a D2500 SBC. It has a VGA output, and I hooked up my old Nokia Multigraph 446Xpro monitor to it. The video refresh rate is a paltry 31.5kHz, which allows text to limited to about 80 characters across the screen... barely enough for the "*** Welcome to pfSense..." banner to display on a single line.

Is there a way thru the Shell interface to drive higher resolution video?

The follow on to the question on how to temporarily change the video mode of the console is how to change to the default boot confiiguration. Ideally, for a packaged system like pfsense, that change should be stored in the XML configuration, with an appropriate webconfigurator user interface.
